Just wondering? What would you do?
You are asking people who got run out of business because of a complete lack
of copyright protection of their real product to believe that acacia's abstract theories of
web interfaces should get protected.

Not a chance in hell that acacia has a single thing that is protected.
There would only be one kind of computer if this was true since all computers
use the same "theory" of function.

It's not like Acacia developed actual computer code to do anything.
